Hydrocephalus in Myelomeningocele
Pediatric Neurosurgery, 1979156 children born with myelomeningocele were studied over a 3- to 10-year follow-up period. The appearance, type and rate of development of hydrocephalus were noted and correlated with the findings on neonatal and follow-up physical examination. 80% of the children developed overt hydrocephalus; 73.4% of these cases were secondary to aqueductal ...

Neurosurgery, 1993
Cervical myelomeningoceles are rare dysraphic lesions. Nine cases of cervical myelomeningoceles are reported. The external features of all nine myelomeningoceles were strikingly similar: They were sturdy, tubular protuberances from the back of the infants' necks, covered at the base by full-thickness skin and covered on the dome by thick squamous ...

Cervical myelomeningocele (cMMC) is a rare disease. Only a few series have been published regarding cMMC. Different issues regarding the etiology, classification, clinical, surgical, and pathological aspects of cMMC are still a matter of conflict.Sixteen children operated on for cMMC between July 2000 and 2003 were followed by the neurosurgical service

Spondylolisthesis in Myelomeningocele
Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 1994Radiographic spinal evaluations were done on 305 patients with myelodysplasia. Asymptomatic spondylolisthesis, which averaged 37.1% translation, was seen in 5.9% of the patients. The prevalence of spondylolisthesis increased to 15.6% of patients with L5-S1 motor levels. Patients with myelodysplasia do develop spondylolisthesis.

Ventriculitis in Newborns With Myelomeningocele
Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1991It has frequently been cited that a delay in back closure of beyond age 48 hours in newborns with myelomeningocele is associated with an increased risk of ventriculitis. It has been suggested that antibiotic therapy prior to surgery might minimize this risk.

Management of Myelomeningocele
Urologic Clinics of North America, 1985The care of the patient with myelomeningocele has improved over the last 15 years. Early diagnosis of urodynamic abnormalities and close monitoring of the urinary tract by ultrasonography have allowed the institution of prompt, effective therapy before upper-tract deterioration can occur. The wide acceptance of clean intermittent catheterization can in

Is Myelomeningocele a Disappearing Disease?
Pediatrics, 1982The incidence of major congenital anomalies of the central nervous system was determined in a study of more than 233,000 births in Brooklyn, New York hospitals during the years 1968 to 1979. Anencephaly, myelomeningocele, and hydrocephalus occurred at frequencies of 47.1, 42.4, and 49.3 cases per 100,000 total births, respectively.
